Someone with talent

The fans happily went on discussing the beautiful clothes worn by this young actress Feng Xi, especially the photos where she was wearing those winter fashions from some clothing brand. What was it– oh, 'Lu An' brand…

Sigh. What a pity! If they saw this earlier, definitely would have ordered a few of them!

This was the advantage of having somewhat older fans. They behave in a less emotional manner than the younger ones. Well… most of the time anyway.

Especially, the fans of fat intestines– many of them still in their mid and late twenties. How to say this… a golden time period? Most of them were not yet married, so not bogged down with the heaviest and harshest responsibilities that life can offer.

But, still had experienced some harshness in life– after all, many were working adults. So, they have this slightly rose-tinted, but experienced view where life was concerned. Still willing to be more tolerant and positive than their older counterparts, yet more restrained than the younger ones.

But as always, even fat intestines' blog has exceptions among these more even-tempered fans.

Little orchid: Older sisters and brothers, this time I'm afraid our brother intestine was cheated. This actress– she's not a good person at all. I searched around a bit and looks like she slept with lots of men. Was even jealous of her talented fellow actress and spread rumors. Then pretended to commit suicide too. A real white lotus green tea ah!

From the wording of this comment– it could be seen that this was a slightly younger person. Maybe a student? But this action of snooping around was not exactly unusual either. After all, learning about about a new and beautiful actress- wouldn't the first idea that comes to everyone's mind be… let's learn more about her?

The older fans also quickly held on to this point and went on to search for the truth and falsehood of this matter. And sure enough… Feng Xi's sordid history was bared in front of everyone's eyes in all its stinking glory within seconds.

Now, not just this little orchid, but all the fans started spiritedly gossiping about this matter. After all, no matter how tolerant, humans were still creatures that inherently loved to gossip. Some even called out to the blogger to clarify this matter.

He must have a good reason for spoiling their Sunday by presenting them with this type of stinking pile of poop, right? Finally, the said elusive blogger who had been silent until this moment decided to voice out his thoughts.

Fat intestines: Actually, I found this drama 'My forever spring' by chance, and when I watched it, I thought Feng Xi's acting was particularly interesting. But once I learned about her past, I was also a bit hesitant. Yet, sometime after that, I thought that I seem to be acting a bit prejudiced. After all, her acting skills and moral character are two different things.

Fat intestines: Then I searched for her other works and realized that this new drama seems like signaling a breakthrough in her acting skills. The previous works before her scandal broke out were good, and her acting skills in them were also good, but not like this. The role she acted in 'My forever spring' was just a side character without any depth, but she managed to give meaning to it.

Fat intestines: Also, the photos for the fashion collection from the 'Lu An' brand are especially photogenic. She seems to bring out the essence and meaning behind each and every dress. It had been quite some time since I last saw a little-known actress who could do justice to her job, regardless of its scope. This was why I decided to include her in this week's feature. *polite smile*

Attached under these messages was a clip from the drama, 'My forever spring'. It was the scene where Zhu Wanyin was shown to be crying when Cao Siming left after her angry outburst.

Watching this small two-minute clip, the fans suddenly felt that the blogger was right. The pain of the young girl when she realized that she was going to lose her first love, as well as her unwillingness to give up and her hatred toward her love rival were discernible from those reddened eyes.

Suddenly, everyone was reminded of their own experiences in first love– some successful, some parted ways, while the rest never got a chance to even confess. Now, seeing this 'Zhu Wanyin' on the screen, everyone watching could feel complex emotions bubbling up in their hearts.

This actress– she was someone with talent!

"Sister, are you sure you really didn't buy this article?"

"Ugh! I already said how many times– I didn't!" Feng Xue not only sounded but looked exasperated as well. "Do you think I would buy an article from this type of marketing account? It doesn't even have that much traffic!"

'But, it has a permanent, older fan base.' Yang Jigshen thought so but didn't speak out in the end. He could clearly see that Feng Xue wasn't faking it either. So, was this really just a coincidence?

When 'My forever spring' first started broadcasting, Yang Jingshen didn't place much hope in it. After all, the character he played, except for looking good and fashionable– it really didn't have any other advantage. Only guaranteed to attract a bunch of haters on top of the huge amount of black fans who were already after his hide!

And as he predicted, he was continuously scolded by a bunch of drama viewers. And, Yang Jingshen thought that he had to give some credit to his meager fan base for at least trying to fight against the verbal abuse, but the numbers were just too low ah! And the facts were against him in favor too.

Not to mention, his current fans were most likely attracted by his face value, so their loyalty level was kinda questionable. In the end, they simply turned to pretend to be ostriches burying their heads in the sand(1). Yang Jingshen actually found it quite funny, but kind of felt touched that they even tried to defend him in the first place.

Anyway, things were supposed to develop in this manner. But then, a marketing account maintained by a blogger named 'fat intestines' came forward and disrupted this precarious balance.

Needless to say how Yang Jingshen was surprised. It was true that he put some effort into bringing some meaningful emotions into the dull character of Zhu Wanyin, but that was done more for his personal satisfaction and not because he was dedicated to acting in this role or anything like that ah!

After all, he had this habit where he tend to put the best of his efforts into doing whatever task he put his hands on.

In the end, this brother 'intestines' made a big deal out of it, and to top it all, his older fan base had left encouraging and positive comments on the Mango platform's comment section, commending his dedication to his career.

In the end, it can be considered that Yang Jingshen was also quite bewildered by this development. What kind of miraculous coincidence was this!?

01) Pretend to be ostriches burying their heads in the sand - This means acting like cowards. The popular belief is that when ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are frightened.

A little fun fact - Ostriches actually don't bury their heads in the sand when they sense danger. Instead, they flop to the ground and remain still, attempting to blend with the terrain. This was probably mistaken by someone to be burying their heads in the sand at some point, because, you know, ostriches' heads are smaller when compared with their body.
